Washington Wizards head coach Brian Keefe shared an update on Alex Sarr as the rookie big man continues to deal with an adductor injury that has sidelined him for six straight games.

According to Varun Shankar of Post Sports, Sarr has not yet returned to on-court activity during team practices. That detail suggests the center is still some distance away from making his comeback.
Shankar also pointed out that even injuries labeled as minor can be tricky, especially when it comes to soft tissue. Those situations often demand patience, and the Wizards are choosing not to push the issue.
Washington is taking a careful approach with Sarr, focusing on his long-term health instead of forcing an early return.
Despite the Wizards sitting at 4-20, Sarr has been one of the few bright spots this season. The French big man has quickly become a key piece, leading the team in points with 19.1 per game, grabbing 8.6 rebounds, and protecting the rim with 2.0 blocks per night.
